Re: SBS VPN setup?

Hello Cliff-

I discovered that both applications work, and I thank you for that
suggestion on the second question about configuring a VPN on the network. As
for the Action Pack, haven't bought a renewal as of yet, and I know that it
isn't going to be easy to setup, I am wondering by reading threads and post
suggestions I'd read online if the issues of second NIC cards, and
programming the router's ports... I think my question really is... on the
server side as to what software is best, I heard that third party
applications is easier than setting up RWW and more secured?

Is that case?

Also, what books do you suggest?

And also, that link I sugested eariler, is that a good guide to configure a
RWW?

Here are the short answers:

To the first question:
Yes, both SBS 2003 and 2008 will have VPN functionality available.

To the second question:
Anytime you are allowing external access to the network, security becomes a
major consideration. With that in mind, nothing..no solution...no
process...nothing is easy to setup and configure. As a consultant (you did
say you were installing "for my client") you'd be best served spending some
money on a good book (or two or three) to aid you....as well as doing a few
test setups first. The MS Action Pack (great for consultants) is offered by
Microsoft for exactly these scenarios.

I haven't done this before, but will be installing SBS Windows 2003 R2 or
2008 whichever is best suitable for my client, and like to know how he can
VPN into the server off site using the internet?

My question(s) are, does VPN come with SBS 2003 R2/2008, and is it easy to
setup and configure so that he can use it remotely?

Please advise?

Thanks-

Dave-
